Juxtaposition VIII: Wholeheartedness

"I assume this is because the Narcissist desperately wants to be able to
assert the inferiority of another, and the superiority of themselves by
comparison. [...] The word contempt carries a subconscious air of their K-type adversary’s
superiority, and the Liberal’s inferiority. Although minor, such
aspects of language have profound effect upon Narcissists and Liberals.
Always denigrate the Liberal’s importance and power within the social
environment, and never imply they are important enough to warrant a real
emotion."

"That’s the archetypal hater: a lifelong fuckup. A
thirtysomething lawyergrrl with the personality of a sea slug and a
burning case of baby rabies. A castrated cubicle worker in thrall to his
Michelin Man-sized wife. A sick woman who gets a double mastectomy
because she thinks she’s a man trapped in a woman’s body. A 300-pound
momma’s boy playing video games in his parents’ basement."

"I want to separate courage and bravery for you. [...] It's from the latin word cor, meaning heart...the original definition was to tell the story of who you are with your whole heart. [...] They fully embraced vulnerability. They don't talk about vulnerability being comfortable, nor excruciating." (Paraphrased because exact words would take me several times longer.)
